Power! Up to 1100 fps (in .177). Accuracy! 1" at 50 yards. NO recoil! Built in the USA, the Talon pre-charged pneumatic AirForce PCP air rifle is for serious shooting. Field target, hunting, punching paper targets, shooting spinners and plinking are all perfect for the AirForce Talon PCP air rifle...because it does everything so well! The easy-to-use power-adjust wheel takes your rifle from 400 fps to 1100 fps. You decide how much power you want and when you want it. If you're shooting field target...dial it down. Hunting...dial it up.

From its Lothar Walther barrel (1:16 twist) to its removable air tank, the Talon is the standard for state-of-the-art manufacturing of pre-charged pneumatics. Made of space-age polymers and aircraft-grade aluminum, the AirForce Talon air rifle is lightweight and equipped with a durable finish.

The removable 490cc air tank (DOT-certified) can be filled with a hand pump, scuba tank or electric compressor to 3000 psi (206 bar) for lots of shots without a refill. The tank does double-duty as the butt of the AirForce air rifle, contributing to its light weight and convenience. The tank has a pressure-release valve for additional safety.

Carrying an extra filled tank when shooting in the field is a lot easier than carrying a scuba or carbon fiber tank for refills.

Not sure which caliber to get? Get both! Extra barrels are available, and change-outs are quick and easy and don't require any special tools.

You'll need an adapter to fill the reservoir with air. The type of adapter depends on how you plan to fill your gun. A scuba tank will require a different adapter than a hand pump or carbon fiber tank. If you use a hand pump, the type of adapter you need depends on the brand of hand pump you use.

There are lots of ways to configure this AirForce PCP air rifle, including rail-mounted accessories (coin-slot screws for each changeout). You can choose the scope, laser, flashlight, night vision equipment, extra tanks, quick-detach fiber-optic sights and attachments for the type of refilling unit you plan to use.

The Talon can use a very wide variety of pellets and round balls. Have a look at our suggestions in the recommended Ammo below. Also, check out our recommended Accessories to find scopes, targets, pumps and other nifty gear for your Talon.

Things I liked:This gun is great. Perfect size and weight so it handles really well. Easy to mount your scope or whatever you want on the gun. Very accurate right out of the box makes it breeze to sight in. The spin lock tank makes it simple to refill since you don't have to remove the tank. Love this gun can't wait to get some more trigger time at the range with it.Things I would have changed:nothingWhat others should know:I like the big air bottle because of that you'd think take forever to refill with hand pump. Not so if you only shoot down to 2000psi. The air gauge on the spin lock bottle on my gun is very accurate same reading as my Hill pump.

Things I liked:Nice and light and easy to carry. Has plenty of power for my needs. Best accuracy for me is with a power wheel setting of 7. My rifle shoots best with JSB Exact 15.89 grain pellets, but the Crossman Premier HP is a close second.Things I would have changed:Trigger is not nearly as nice as other PCP rifles I've shot. Mine breaks cleanly at 2.5 pounds with no creep and is fine for hunting I suppose, but it would be nice to have an adjustable trigger to get the pull weight down.What others should know:Gun was delivered with an improperly made spin-lock bushing. The tank would not index properly on the frame. Once it was tightened, to get it loose, I had to flood the bushing with Kroil and use a plastic hammer with the spin-lock wrench to get the tank off. In doing this, scratched the anodizing off the frame in two places. I contacted AirForce about the problem and emailed pictures of the stuck tank. AirForce customer service acknowledged some of the guns were shipped with out of tolerance spin-lock bushings and apparently, I received one of them. AirForce sent a replacement bushing and wrench which I received the next day. The replacement bushing resolved the indexing problem, but the scratches remain. Accuracy is okay, about like my RWS 48 spring gun. My FX Typhoon will shot rings around the Talon though.

Things I liked:How many airguns have their own airgun geeks club? The talon does! A bunch of pelletheads all gather together online and compare and show off their talons to each other. some peoples kids, huh?
The talon is not just an airgun. the talon is a whole shooting system. You can have interchangeable barrel lengths, four different calibers, and different power plant options(hpa or CO2), you can have several airguns in one package. The talon is a great entry level into the world of PCP airguns. Even without all the extras, the talon, taken on its own merits is a rock solid airgun. The talon Is very simple and sparten by design, but the simple straightforward desgn is what makes it so powerful. Things I would have changed:Out of the box, the talon is a fine shooting machine with a bit of room for improvement. there are a couple of quirks that are easily overcome. one of them is the safety. it seems just out of reach when you are wrapping your finger around the trigger, and if youve already drawn a bead on your target and forgotten to switch it to fire. you may find yourself missing your shot entirely, when you have to have to lower the gun to switch it to "fire". What others should know:If youre already into PCP guns than you most likely have necessary sundries. the scuba tank to fill your HPA tank is a must. the air force hand pump can be a real headache. The hand pum is subject to failure and has one of the o-rings that needs replacing on occasion. The replacement can be done at home by someone with a good set of tools and above average mechanical skills, or it has to be returned to the manufacturer for repair. When the pump is working well, you get about ten PSI per pump. its a long way to 3000 psi at that rate. Also, the talon loves heavier pellets. I like shooting a .25 cal. thirty five grain domed pellet that will blow through a green 2x4 at twenty yards. by changing to a twenty four inch barrel, you can increase the muzzle velocity quite a bit. One of the things that makes the talon very cool, is the tuning and mods that can be performed to give it even more power. there are people out there that do just that, tune talons. that is why the talon has its own group of airgun geeks that show off their own personal tweeks and modifications that theyve made on their talons, talon SS, talon Ps and condors.

The talon specifications say 1100 fps. in .177 cal. A 22 caliber long rifle shoots 1200 fps. but hits with more energy because it has a much heavier bullet.So the talon can keep up with it but doesn't hit as hard. But pellets are much cheaper than 22 ammo and good practice.

To fill your PCP gun:
1. Pick a source of air shown at right
2. If an adapter is needed, one will be shown
3. Add both to your cart to get hooked up
